Pros

Salary is good but that's the only thing I can think of as pros

Cons

The culture is the worst and super toxic. Hire to fire, fake performance data, and PIP without valid reasons happen daily in any organization.

Pros

* Large variety of possible roles (if you don't like yours, you can find another) * Generally lots of freedom for innovation * Lots of different types of services and tech stacks. You can find your niche. * Generally pretty decent office buildings * Good stepping stone to get better jobs * Excellent pay and stock

Cons

* Excessive RTO policy (5 days) without proper infrastructure to support it. I was forced to sit in random chairs in random lobbies because there weren't enough desks * Orgs will randomly switch you between Seattle and Bellevue with hardly any notice. I got moved to Bellevue from Seattle, then back to Seattle again. * Lots of really toxic, aggressive, egomaniacal micromanagers. Some parts of the company are absolute hell: understaffed, with unrealistic expectations * Highly disorganized. Poor documentation strewn all over the place
